Session presentations will be given by researchers with both academic and medical background that will address recent advances in cancer treatment based on gene- and cell-therapies. Speakers will focus on cancer cell-based approaches focusing on immunotherapy with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells and on gene-therapy strategies employing oncolytic viruses. The seminars will also cover new developments in cancer diagnostics based on the analysis of tumor circulating cells and advanced therapeutic options focusing on cell-penetrating peptides and photoactivated chemotherapy.
